I had to remove the IMEI post, since the ref guide, and all IMEI guides have been deleted.
Thank You

you know, I think it has something to do with the fact that it led people into spoofing/changing their IMEI numbers. but can you give me a name who I can contact?

hey guys, Big thanks to all those contributing to this guide. Very helpful.

Unroot
If I'm trying to unroot my phone due to the touch screen isn't working and the screen is almost black. Will there be a way for them to see the flash counter. I wasn't able to rest that before the screen went black. I'll be sending it back through the best buy geek squad.

thanks

Post What Where:
General - general technical discussion items, news, anything else that does not fit into the other fora categories.
Q&A (Questions and Answers) - all questions, irrespective of type, get posted in here whether they be theme related, accessory related, technical, etc.
Accessories - any items to do with components and/or accessories relating to your device.
Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM/Kernel/Device development activity. Nothing else goes in here.
Themes & Apps - anything to do directly with the development of themes and/or applications. Nothing else goes in here.
BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM/Kernel/Device Hack/Mod, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing?... If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

Updating Software Huawei Ascend p730 for Smartwatch

Hey Guys I'm new to this forum and hope to find an answer for my Problem
My nephew bought himself a sony smartwatch, but his phones operating system is too old for the watch to link (Huawei Ascend p730 with jellybean 4.2.2).
Everything I found was a custom ROM with the reference to this forum. When I try to download the ROM i have to get through some Survey where I have to buy some ringtones or movies.
Is there another and free way to upgrade his phone so he could link his watch? The watch demands at least the 4.3 version of jellybean.
Thank you for any help in advance !

Hi and welcome to XDA.
Can you link me any roms that have those surveys? Redirect links are not allowed on xda and I've never seen that in any rom thread here.
Try posting your query in Ascend P7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help. Other Ascend users may be able to help you.

Ah I see. It's a totally different website. If you check the Ascent P7 forum I linked you you'll find the development sections. All Ascent P7 roms on this site are there. If you take a look through you should find something.

but on this page no General Development category!! where should I find it ?

I hope I correctly understood. If I did then it's this forum available via the "General Discussion" that you've linked:
General Topics
Discuss anything relating to phones that does not fit into the other forums: see Android tutorials, get advice on the best accessories, post a rant, or ask for help.
forum.xda-developers.com
As that forum states: "Discuss anything relating to phones that does not fit into the other forums: see Android tutorials, get advice on the best accessories, post a rant, or ask for help."

no, I need

Hlw A225F (A22 4G) users. We have unofficial twrp for our A225F devices that was made by Cheese-ass ( xda developer ). He is a great man because he did something for us but unfortunately his twrp was unable to boot android 12 oneui 4.1 . But after research i got solution. Today i am going to share how to run android 12 with Cheese-ass unofficial twrp .
## Note : You must need android 12 and binary 3 firmware installed. Because i take file from binary 3 firmware .( But you can check my method for testing) . I think this method will use other Samsung devices. I am not sure and responsible.
1 : You need pc , Samsung usb driver , latest odin3 ,android 12 installed A225F device and my given files. ( Cheese-ass recovery is included).
2 : First remove Samsung and Google account from your device and unlock bootloader. You need to remove frp lock and oem lock and kg state must be checking or broken on download mode.
3 : Then install Samsung usb driver on your computer and run odin3.
4 : Now go to download mode and flash the tar files.
Dont try to boot your device. After flash device will reboot but don't do this . Immediately press power button and volume up button and go to twrp recovery otherwise stock recovery will restore.
5 : Now go to wipe / format data option and type yes and go. Now reboot recovery and go to twrp terminal and type multidisabler and run two times. It will remove data encryption .
6 : Then mount vendor if not mounted. Now need to remove stock recovery from vendor. On android 12 Samsung removed stock recovery restoration from system to vendor. So after run multidisabler in terminal go to vendor partition and delete recovery-from-boot.p and reboot your device. If not deleting then unmount vendor and system and run multidisabler again and try to delete or try mount , unmount vendor and try to delete.
